This is quite possibly the best lodging experience I have had. Ever. The Four Seasons can learn a lot from the warm, welcoming, generosity we experienced. It was outstanding in every category. There is an appreciation for beauty and humanity at the Inns. We are coming back very soon. Thank you for a memorable stay.

It was the perfect summer getaway from the city. We rode bikes every day and visited the local wineries. The staff were friendly and very attentive to our needs. We spent a day at the spa which was amazing. We hope to return again next summer.

Inns of Aurora is a beautiful property, we stayed in the Zabriskie House and it was gorgeous. Beautiful room, the day bed for our 9 year old was ideal. We loved that we could have smores at the fire pit right outside the house. We took advantage of the kayaks and nature hikes on the property and both were great. We did try to rent bikes but they only had adult sizes (which I get because it's not really a family resort) so my son was too small to ride. He was bummed but it didn't ruin the day. Also worth noting that the staff is wonderful, everyone was kind and helpful. I hope we can stay again soon.

Booked trip last minute for the Fourth of July after finding out my deployment date was pushed back. Aurora Resort and Spa was exactly what I needed before my deployment. The staff, amenities, and food were excellent.

Fabulous Experience
Our stay at the Inns of Aurora ( Morgan House) was nothing short of superb! We loved the facilities, condition, cleanliness and of course the beautiful art and decor. Dinner at the 1833 Kitchen located at a neighbouring inn which is also part of Inns of Aurora was also wonderful. We plan to be back there soon!

I absolutely enjoyed the spa! The Inn/resort area is well maintained and very clean. Absolutely enjoyed the complimentary homemade granola bars in the mornings and enjoyed the coffees in the marketplace. As for the restaurant inside the main inn, I forgot the name but the Easter dinner prefixed meal wasn’t great. Really enjoyed the food from a restaurant that was across the street from the main inn. I would also recommend enjoy the wineries near by and going into Ithaca for better food options as well.
